Tesla M2090 update

Got the two cards today.  They look new!!

First problem was that they were not recognized by windows 10.  After an update from Windows, all Tesla GPGPU are recognized.

Second problem, started up primegrid and all seven cards were working on work units. Great!  BUT, then I realized that many error were showing up on the primegrid error page.  It says that the work unit was not able to complete because the GPGPU card does not have enough memory. What?

These card have 5GB of memory. It should work fine.  Well, it seems that there is a driver issue.  Windows updates to a GTX 780 ti driver and that driver is not compatible or makes the Tesla generate errors. It looks fine under control panel, device manager BUT when it's working there might be a driver conflict.

Will tinker around and see what happens. :(

Been running half hour and so far no errors. Looked at the drivers and the Tesla cards have the correct drivers and the others have their correct driver.  Hope this got fixed by itself.

Just verified a couple of work units and I see a couple of Tesla WU as completed successfully.  GREAT!!  They take about 17 minutes to process a work unit versus 7 for a 780ti.  Not bad for a $80 gpu card!!
